This kind of idea has been proposed multiple times and rejected.

In this particular case, an especially bad problem with it is there are
probably L2 protocols that actually need to reuse addresses in certain
circumstances. There are likely to also be situations where an adversary
can trigger unintentional address reuse, and thus get transactions
pinned by this filter.

For these reasons alone, NACK.
